Triple Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cake

Sunday, on our first official weekend together under the same roof in Oregon, my fiance and I decided we wanted to go snowboarding. The last time we went together was the weekend we got engaged back in February. Little did we know that on May 14th, we’d be riding in fresh powder, with plenty more snow coming down throughout the day. It was so much fun, and one of our close friends was able to join which just made the day that much better. Who would have thought we could enjoy a day like that in the middle of May? It’s an endless winter this year. Of course I’ll go back to complaining about the cold weather today.

We’re starting off the week with the most ahhhhhmazing Triple Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cake. This dessert is for serious dessert lovers only, because its not the quickest cake to make but it is vey well worth the wait. It looks like a lot of steps with a lot of ingredients but it’s actually a few repetitive steps for each layer.
